Fault-Tolerant Adaptive and Minimal Routing in Mesh-Connected Multicomputers Using Extended Safety Levels
Wu J. IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems 11(2): 149-159, 2000. Type: Article
A fairly restricted problem is treated in this paper. The specific formulation is for an infinite two-dimensional mesh connection of processors, in which each processor has interconnections with its four nearest neighbors in the coordi...

C for scientists and engineers
Johnsonbaugh R., Kalin M., Prentice-Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1996. Type: Book (9780023611360)
This textbook for a first course in C teaches C programming, as opposed to programming using C as a vehicle. It is directed at scientists and engineers primarily through the choice of large programming examples for real-world applicati...

The Potential of Compile-Time Analysis to Adapt the Cache Coherence Enforcement Strategy to the Data Sharing Characteristics
Mounes-Toussi F., Lilja D. IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems 6(5): 470-481, 1995. Type: Article
The authors start with a good review of adaptive methods for cache coherence enforcement in multiprocessors, and proceed to argue that compile-time analysis and marking can improve on purely hardware-based schemes applied at runtime. T...

Interconnecting computers
Lampson B. (ed) Programming languages and system architectures (, Zurich, Switzerland, Mar 2-4, 1994) 201994. Type: Proceedings
This lead paper of the conference proceedings does what Lampson tends to be good at; it backs off to get an overview of the forest rather than studying the bark of one tree. As a result, the vision is broad, but less acute. An attempt ...

The PowerPC architecture
May C., Silha E. (ed), Simpson R. (ed), Warren H. (ed), Morgan Kaufmann Publishers Inc., San Francisco, CA, 1994. Type: Book (9781558603165)
As a manual for a family of processors, this book faces problems in exposition worse than those encountered in an ordinary computer manual. Any attempt to explain features in terms of underlying mechanisms is stalled by the desire to l...

Bit-Parallel Arithmetic in a Massively-Parallel Associative Processor
Scherson I., Kramer D., Alleyne B. IEEE Transactions on Computers 41(10): 1201-1210, 1992. Type: Article
The design and simulation of a computer consisting of 64k associative processing elements (APEs), each of which contains 32 one-bit arithmetic/associative logic units (A2LUs), are described. For 32-bit floating-point multipl...

A performance comparison of four supercomputers
Simmons M., Wasserman H., Lubeck O., Eoyang C., Mendez R. (ed), Harada H., Ishiguro M. Communications of the ACM 35(9): 116-124, 1992. Type: Article
The authors compare the single-processor performance of four vector supercomputers: two Japanese machines and two Cray Research machines. The machines are the NEC SX-3, the Fujitsu VP2600, the CRAY Y-MP, and the CRAY C90. The compariso...

Past, present, parallel
Trew A. (ed), Wilson G., Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., New York, NY, 1991. Type: Book (9780387196640)
Commercial parallel computers are surveyed from the point of view of someone who might want to invest in a parallel computer--or in a parallel computer company. The book is strong on corporate structure, history, market target...

The Cray X-MP/model 24: a case study in pipelined architecture and vector processing
Robbins K., Robbins S., Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., New York, NY, 1989. Type: Book (9789780387970899)
Readers of this monograph are expected to have a fairly good understanding of pipelined vector computers. Experience with another Cray vector machine is probably the ideal starting point for maximum benefit with minimal effort. The aut...
